The Dallas Cowboys haven’t done much to quell concerns over their roster after their relative inaction in free agency.
Owner Jerry Jones and his staff failed to address some of the holes on their team and seem content with the state of it heading into the 2024 NFL season.
However, the more baffling decision has been not to re-sign Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb to extensions despite having all offseason to do so.
Prescott and Lamb have an argument as the best one-two punch in the NFL, though Dallas has yet to make much progress on new deals for their stars.
Meanwhile, the rest of the league has locked up some of their star players to extensions that will only drive up Prescott and Lamb’s prices.
Former Philadelphia Eagles executive Joe Banner openly questioned why the Cowboys continue to wait on re-signing their players via his personal Twitter account.
“When I was at Eagles we thought that Cowboys plan to resign players as late as they did, provided a significant competitive advantage for us. That remains true and obvious to this day. Not sure why they have continued with this strategy,” Banner tweeted.

Dallas had a chance to set the market and sign Prescott and Lamb to cheaper deals, but them waiting has given other teams the chance to negotiate more team-friendly terms.
The team has yet to provide a good explanation as to why it’s taking this long, and the longer this drags out the more they’ll end up having to spend to keep Prescott and Lamb on their roster.
